And this is the middle brother in the family! 2.2m across, this bad boy from Broncolor has a ring flash into the parabola, and funnily enough it’s used in the highest end of photography — fashion. Oh, and furniture. Basically, if you need to light the subject all around, then you need something this big. Or maybe the bigger 3.3m option.
There is monster-sized flash lighting gear all over the place here at PMA 07, but this caught my eye first so it gets dibs. -Seamus Byrne

Wired has an interesting follow-up piece about Harry McCracken’s resignation from PC World. Crawford’s blog says that “We have and will continue to run editorial and content that both praises and criticizes as appropriate without regard to the vendor relationship.”
But then a statement from IDG’s Howard Sholkin: “The reason is that Colin and Harry had a disagreement on one opinion piece related to Apple and they could not come to a settlement as to how the differences should be resolved so Harry felt that necessitated him resigning.” Hello IDG knuckleheads: The fact that management even has a say in editorial matters is wrong.
These tricky folks have made some specially layered papers that take you back to your childhood bedroom, delivering glow in the dark goodness that’s ready for your inkjet printer.
Dubbed Moonglow, the range has five colour options so you can make the starfield of your dreams (hell, just cut it out if that’s what you want to do), printing up larger space objects for that photo finish.
They do a lot of A4 sheets, but you can also buy in rolls to suit huge printers — the guy on the stand was telling me about using this to print backdrops for bands. ROCK! They sell direct through the site. More images of other colours after the jump.

We covered the GelaSkins laptop art skins for your MacBook and MacBook Pro before, but they’ve just released a bunch of new designs so we’re featuring them again. The Mario and Luigi one is still one of our favorites, but we can’t say no to some of the other ones either.
Browse through the 30 or so designs and you’ll find one you like as well.

We were kind of skeptical of the Moto ROKR E6 Linux phone at first glance, but after watching the video and seeing what we can do, there may be room for this in our pockets yet. Noah from PhoneDog gives you a walkthrough of the ROKR E6′s UI, complete with an Apple iPhone skin that he installed himself.
All in all, Noah says the phone isn’t very polished, you can’t go into widescreen mode, but it does run Linux and have some nice hardware features. Since it doesn’t “rock as hard as it should”, he’s sending this back to Asia where it came from. You can make up your own decision though. – Jason Chen
Greenpeace reponds to El Jobso’s letter declaring Apple a greener company. All that sweet talk just ain’t enough for the tree humpers. (Not even the promise of LED backlit LCDs? Ok, fine.) According to their scale, the new measures will bring Apple to a 5.0 on their 10 point scale (that’s up from the 2.7 they were ranked at before.)
We’re no experts on what’s green and what puts the toxic nipple clamp on Mother Earth’s sweet teat. But the entire statement is after the jump if you wish to investigate the words straight from the hippie’s mouth:
We’re in and wandering the floor here now, and it is a relieving size when compared with CeBIT Sydney. But almost everywhere you turn there is cool stuff to check out. As ever, the big question is what’s new. Let’s go find out. -Seamus Byrne
Flash drives of all brands and sizes could with a lanyard nowadays, but how many are already hidden into the lanyard itself? This looks like an average lanyard on the outside, but unfasten the clip to find the USB flash drive with 2GB of memory available for taking your donkey porn collection anywhere! It isn’t too bad of a deal either—2GB for $38. –Travis Hudson

Remember that PSP and PS3 update we told you about earlier last month? The one that enabled you to share PlayStation One game saves between your PS3 and your PSP? Well, Sony’s finally gone and enabled it, you know, officially.
The handful of compatible titles are: “2Xtreme, Crash Bandicoot, Destruction Derby, Jet Moto, Jumping Flash, MediEvil, Rally Cross, Syphon Filter, Tekken 2 and WipeOut.” If you’ve already purchased this for the PSP, you can re-download them for the PS3 for free. Now for your scheduled PSP licking. – Jason Chen

We know what you’re trying to do, AMD. You’re trying to steal Intel’s thunder by announcing your new M690 mobile chipset before Intel goes live with theirs. You’re tempting us by telling us it’ll deliver a 25% boost in battery life (that’s over 5 hours) and that you’ll be partnering with Nvidia (over your own child ATI) and Broadcom for integrated graphics and wireless. And y’know something, it works. But we’re still gonna wait and see what Intel has to offer. Just ’cause you never know what else is out there. – Louis Ramirez
